摘要
作为早期佛教经典,《阿含经》对于“香”并没有做过专门的阐述,只是在部分经典中有些零星的记载。经过归纳与整理,本文从三个方面对《阿含经》中的“香”进行综述:一是从“香”的种类,大体可划分为八种;二是从“香”的功能用途来看,可分为生活用途与宗教用途两大类;三是从“香”的寓意来看,又可划分为四种类型。《阿含经》并非是就“香”论“香”,而是通过对“香”的分析与阐述,进而从宗教层面得出两个着力点:一是以香喻德,以戒香为第一;二是当我们面对“香境”时,需要树立必要的修习正观,从而从对香境的对治中,获得精神的完满解脱。
As an early Buddhist scripture,the Agama did not provide a specific explanation of“secent”,but only sporadically recorded it in some of its texts.After summarizing and organizing,this article provides a comprehensive overview of“scent”in the Agama from three aspects:firstly,the types of scent,which can be divided into eight categories;secondly,the functions and uses of scent,which can be classified into two categories:daily life and religious purposes;and thirdly,the symbolism of scent,which can be divided into four types.The Agama does not specifically discuss“scent”but use the analysis and interpretation of“scent”to present two main points at the religious level:first,to use scent as a metaphor for virtue,and to prioritize the scent of precepts;second,when facing the“secent object”,it is necessary to establish a necessary cultivation of right mindfulness and obtain spiritual liberation from the treatment of the“scent object”.
